It would come back if the cells were not all taken care of during chemo therapy. Typically lung cancer is found when it is too late...meaning it is usually found after it has metastasized (already spread) to another part of the body (ie. bones). After it has metastasized it is almost impossible to get it cleared up.

Where would you expect to find simple squamous epithelium?

You would find simple squamous epithelial cells where you'd want diffusion to occur, like in capillaries or alveoli.


Why would the fact that alveoli and blood vessel linings consist of squamous epithelium indicate to you that diffusion readily occurs through squamous epithelium?

Alveoli and blood vessel linings are composed of squamous epithelium, which is characterized by its thin, flat structure. This morphology minimizes the distance that gases and nutrients must travel, facilitating efficient diffusion. The reduced thickness of squamous epithelium allows for quicker exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs, as well as the transfer of nutrients and waste products in blood vessels. Thus, the presence of squamous epithelium indicates an adaptation for rapid diffusion in these critical areas of the body.

Can you remove extra chromosome by surgery?

In a single cell, it would be theoretically possible, though how well it would actually work is debatable. In a person... no. You would literally have to perform trillions of individual surgeries, one for each cell in the body. And that's assuming it would actually do anything. The result would likely be something resembling hamburger.

What is squamous cell?

Squamous cells are a type of epithelial cell. Epithelial cells are cells that line the surface of an opening. For example skin cells are epithelial because they line the opening of the skin to the outside air. The lining of blood vessels are squamous as well, because they line the surface of the blood vessels. The basic types of epithelial cells are squamous, cuboidal, columnar, and transitional. The description can become more detailed such as stratified squamous and pseudostratified columnar. Squamous cells are very thin, flat cells. An example of squamous cells stacked on top of each other (stratified squamous) would be the outer layer of your skin. In fact these squamous cells are kertatinized and contain no active nucleus, and function mainly as a barrier to your inner body.

How do you stop cancer of the duodenum?

Cancer of the duodenum is best treated by surgical removal. A piece of the intestine containing the cancer is removed. Lymph nodes near the site of cancer are removed and checked for spread of cancer.There may be cells of the cancer that are invisible to the surgeon that stay in the body after the surgery. These cells can grow into new tumors in months to years.Chemotherapy given once a person has healed from surgery may keep those invisible cancer cells from growing in the future. Chemotherapy may be also be helpful if a person cannot have surgery for cancer (for example, a person's heart doctor thinks surgery would be very dangerous).Radiation is another way to control cancer. The decision to use it depends on many factors.
